Kroger Express coming to more Walgreens stores

Twelve more Walgreens locations will carry an assortment of Kroger groceries beginning early next year.

The first Kroger Express concept is operational now in a Walgreens in Florence, Ky. The selection includes Home Chef meal kits, fresh produce, private-label items and more.

“We are redefining the customer experience in a variety of ways through Restock Kroger, including innovative partnerships like our test-and-learn pilot with Walgreens,” Robert Clark, senior vice president of merchandising for Kroger, said in a news release. “We are excited to enter the next phase of the pilot. The Kroger Express concept creates easy access to our most popular (private-label) products through a fill-in grocery shopping experience for Walgreens customers, and our Home Chef Express meal kits provide customers with an on-demand solution for tonight’s dinner.”

The Kroger Express assortment includes 2,300 items selected using data and insights from 84.51, the Kroger subsidiary that specializes in analytics.
